We all unfortunately know that chemotherapy can affect normal fast growing cells like hair, nails, and the skin (mucosa) inside the mouth. Has anyone (especially women but of course I welcome responses from the men too) had any experience with soreness/ ?ulcer in other mucusa -- um (blush) I'm referring to vagina or more specifically vulva. Seeing a doc tomorrow but interested to learn if anyone else has experienced this....Thanks. Pls email me via this site if you prefer that to posting on the open board.

Thanks for this. I'm sorry you have also had sores/skin problems. But, it is useful for me to know that others have also experienced. I hadn't realized that 'mabs' also affect. I'm on Avastin now (plus FOLFOX). One of the reasons I am concerned about this sore spot is that I know Avastin can interfer with wound healing....nanuk said:as far as i know, mucose membranes, regardless of their location in the body, will be affected by both chemo and monoclonal antibodies-(eg; Avastin) I had mouth sores with 5fu, and overall skin problems with the mabs..
